Hydrating Yogurt & Honey "Smoothie" For Your Hair

After years as a luxury-beauty-product junkie, Annie Strole, author of Homemade Beauty: 150 Simple Beauty Recipes Made From All-Natural Ingredients, began looking into the ingredients behind the products she used. What she found was shocking — parabens, phthalates, formaldehyde, oh my! — and ultimately lead Strole toward the path of natural beauty. Today, she creates her own DIY beauty products using only the freshest ingredients and urges everyone to "take your beauty regimen out of the drugstore and into your own hands."

Hydration is important, but too much of a good thing can weight down hair and make it look stringy and oily. This hair "smoothie" gives your tresses the hydration it needs and locks in moisture for the long term while ensuring that your hair maintains bounce and body.

2 tablespoons honey

1 cup plain yogurt

1 teaspoon coconut oil
